Major 2025 One Loft Race Highlights for Eijerkamp

A Powerful Start to 2025

The 2025 One Loft Race season started in outstanding fashion for Team Eijerkamp. The past year we have updated you about our race results in our One Loft Races Articles, you will find all these articles over here. We competed succesfully in the following One Loft Races: Marismas Masters, Pattaya, Derby, Costa del Sol, Derby Moledo, Derby Aal Nagib, AviRings Derby Pro and Golden Algarve etc. In this article you will find a summary over 2025. 

January alone delivered five top prizes across major international OLR events, immediately setting the tone for an exceptional year. On January 31st, Eijerkamp claimed 1st Prize in Marismas Masters Race 2 (103 km) against 1,150 pigeons with NL24-8208813NL24-8208813. Just days earlier, on January 25th, we also won 1st Prize Best Fancier in Marismas Masters Race 1 (75 km, 1,188 pigeons), meaning our three fastest pigeons outperformed all competitors in that race.

Further success followed in Spain with 1st Prize in the Semi-Final Derby Costa del Sol (240 km, 1,218 pigeons) on January 22nd, achieved by NL24-8208743NL24-8208743, and another 1st Prize in the Quarter Final Costa del Sol (209 km, 1,323 pigeons) on January 16th with NL24-8208999NL24-8208999.
To complete an already remarkable month, NL24-8208082 achieved a strong 29th place,  against 6101 pigeons, arriving shortly after the winner, in the Pattaya Final (530 km) on January 5th. With multiple first prizes and Best Fancier honours, the year could not have started stronger.

Consistency Through Spring and Summer 2025

The strong form continued throughout spring and summer. In the Marismas Masters One Loft Race in Spain, Team H and EJ Eijerkamp demonstrated consistent top-level performance. After seven races, the team accumulated two Best Fancier titles (1st place), along with a 2nd and 4th place ranking among all participating lofts. In Race 7, our three best pigeons: NL24-8208655 (Romario’s Thomas Boy x Demi), NL24-8208658, and NL24-8208322NL24-8208322, secured Best Fancier of the Race.
 
 
Mid-March brought two excellent racing days. In the first official race (150 km) of the Derby Aal Nagib in Egypt, with 1,729 pigeons competing, Team Eijerkamp entered 14 birds. Three placed in the top 50, with NL24-8208801 taking 23rd prize, a full sibling to a Marismas Masters standout just days later. Shortly afterwards, in Race 8 of the Marismas Masters (364 km, strong headwind), NL24-8208322NL24-8208322 claimed an impressive 2nd place. Both pigeons are children of Romario 330 (Simon Wolf).
 
At the end of March, Derby Aal Nagib Race 3 (250 km) delivered further success: 12th prize with NL24-8208888NL24-8208888 (grandchild of Olympic Hans"Olympic Hans") and 19th prize with NL24-8209087NL24-8209087 (grandchild of Luka Modrić"Luka Modric"). These same pigeons continued their strong form in Race 4 (300 km), securing 4th place (NL24-8209087NL24-8209087) and 7th place (NL24-8208888NL24-8208888).
 
Team Eijerkamp–Wolf also performed strongly in Portugal at the Derby Moledo, Hot Spot Race 2 (185 km, 1,857 pigeons) on March 31st, winning 25th, 31st, and 44th places with NL24-8209258, NL24-8208916, and NL24-8209257 respectively.
 
 
Strong Finals and Family Performances
On April 5th, the Grand Final of the Marismas Masters (486 km) took place under extremely tough conditions. Our hen NL24-8208322NL24-8208322 (Romario 330 x Lady Hope"Lady Hope") achieved an excellent 7th place, adding to earlier results of 2nd in Race 8 and 17th in Race 6. Team Eijerkamp led the Master Fancier ranking until Race 9 and ultimately finished 3rd overall. 
 
Two days later, on April 7th, Race 5 of the Derby Aal Nagib (350 km, 887 pigeons) produced another strong team performance, with prizes of 5th, 18th, 48th, and 50th. On the same day, Team Eijerkamp–Wolf competed in Derby Moledo Race 3 (217 km, 1,616 pigeons), where NL24-8209257 secured 20th place. Notably, this hen is a full sister to NL24-8208322NL24-8208322, (competing at the same time in Marismas Masters) once again underlining the strength of this family.
 
In Egypt, our NL24-8208888NL24-8208888, known as 'Queen Nefertiti' (daughter of Dragon Hans"Dragon Hans"), delivered an exceptional series of results in the Derby Aal Nagib, including 5th, 7th, 7th, and 12th places across multiple Hot Spot races from 250 to 429 km.

What Our 2025 OLR Season Shows

The 2025 season clearly demonstrates the global strength and consistency of Eijerkamp pigeons. Success was achieved across distances from 75 km to over 550 km, in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Individual race wins were combined with strong loft-wide performances, confirming depth rather than reliance on a single standout pigeon.

Our proven breeding strategy, built on bloodlines such as Bor, Vasili, Bert, Lady Hope, Nieuwe Olympiade, Vetblauwe Jackpot, Viton x Daughter Goed Grijs, Dragon Hans and the Simon Wolf Romario lines, continues to deliver top results across diverse conditions and competitions, underlining the stability and quality of the Eijerkamp racing and breeding program. We are very pleased to receive messages that offspring of Eijerkamp pigeons are achieving great success with pigeon fanciers all over the world. We are very much looking forward to what 2026 will bring.
